Excerpt from La Mauvais-Riche
Fournir de l'occupation à une activité que l'âge n'avait encore pu ralentir. Les nouveaux aménagements, en effet, auxquels donna lieu mon installation, certaines réformes qu'il me parut bon d1ntroduire sans délai dans l'administration de mon domaine et, d'une façon générale, le soin que je dus prendre de mettre de l'ordre en toutes mes affaires me tinrent en haleine six mois entiers, pendant lesquels je jouis d'une tran quillité' si profonde que je commençai d'espérer qu'il me serait permis avant ma mort de goûter le repos convenable à mon labeur passé, à ma vieillesse et à mon état de fortune.
